If the thought of your dad commenting on (or even seeing) your bikini snap on Instagram is your worst nightmare, then spare a moment for Real Housewives of Miami star Larsa Pippen.
Earlier this week the former Kardashian BFF took to Instagram to share a photo from the beach. In the pic, Larsa was sat on a lounger with her legs crossed, wearing a black bikini and black sunglasses.
Although she looked pretty 🔥, critics took to the comments section to accuse her of editing the image. "Holy hell, photoshopped," one person said, adding: "We see you [in] Miami, we KNOW what your body actually looks like."
Larsa later deleted the photo, but revealed to People magazine that this wasn't due to the backlash, but rather her father's disapproval. "My dad sent me a text yesterday and said, 'You published a photo, and I think you need to take it down.' And when my dad texts me stuff like that, I listen!" the 49-year-old said.
"My family's really traditional and old-school," Larsa continued. "I'm the one that's always pushing the envelope with them, you know? So when he texted me that, I just deleted it."
@larsapippen//InstagramLarsa has since deleted the controversial photo from her Instagram.
"I just didn't want to upset him," she added. "It wasn't worth me not making him happy at that moment."
This isn't the first time that Larsa's dad has had *thoughts* about her online presence. In fact, she also revealed that back in 2022 he begged her to delete her OnlyFans account. "They're not always happy with me. They're very conservative. They like to live very low-profile — they don't like all the hoopla," the mum-of-three explained.
Larsa went on: "I feel like, for me, that's all I've known. So I'm very comfortable in craziness and they're not. I don't know, sometimes I feel like I shouldn't do too much because I feel like they get affected by my actions. But I also have to live my life, you know?"
You do you, Larsa!
